Abstract :

The brilliant civilization of Elam is still one of the oldest unknown civilizations in the world, which continues with the efforts of archaeologists and historians to identify it as much as possible. The discovery of any inscription or written source can shed light on the glorious history of this civilization. In 1972-1973, during the investigation of the ancient mounds of the Khuzestan plain along the Dezful-Shushtar road, we managed to discover an Elamite stone inscription. This article deals with the discovery of this inscription and its translation.
